- num3thod, on 09/24/2008, -1/+75Turn it off.
- Fatcheeseguy, on 09/25/2008, -16/+84foxit reader
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php - JGUSMC7, on 09/25/2008, -6/+57Time spent paying for Adobe....ZERO.
- RBrenner14, on 09/25/2008, -4/+51Wheres the segment for time spent torrenting it?
- BoneStamp, on 09/24/2008, -0/+33The ***** thing is that if you are using one of the programs, you have to close it to perform the update (understandable) BUT if you would rather update it later then it has to download the damn update again... how come it can't just save the file and apply it later, like prompt you when you close the program or shutdown windows?
- Maurik, on 09/25/2008, -3/+30Time spent torrenting Adobe... 30 mins
- benologist, on 09/25/2008, -1/+27The huge white space that's the rest of the window is time spent waiting for it to open.
- theragu40, on 09/25/2008, -1/+20Certainly not, but once you install their reader you'll never even consider installing Adobe Reader again.
- atgmac, on 09/25/2008, -13/+32Oh so foxit make a photoshop killer now too?
- btraxx, on 09/25/2008, -0/+16Thank you.
- LuigiBrasile7, on 09/24/2008, -8/+21Adobe's updating process is really annoying... But Photoshop and Acrobat Pro are still worth the hassle.
- aquadoguk, on 09/25/2008, -6/+181. Make a common accusation which digg agrees with
2. Make an Excel Graph
3. ???
4. Profit? - punkcat, on 09/25/2008, -0/+11add time spent accidentally looking at help.
(a bit better in latest version) - zeeky, on 09/25/2008, -1/+12most people that buy photoshop have pirated it in the past. it's just part of why photoshop is so successful - students pirate it, use it, later turn into graphic designers or advertisers and are able to purchase a legit copy.
- xxl3w, on 09/25/2008, -0/+10i enjoy not having a pdf plugin. i HATE embedded pdfs.
- arobar, on 09/25/2008, -0/+10What an inane comment. That obviously wasn't the point of the post, he specifically pointed out Foxit Reader. If you have Flash, Photoshop and Reader all prompting for updates and you can take one of them out of the mix, you've cut your annoyances by a third. Why discount the product because it doesn't solve 100% of your issues?
- lovecss, on 09/25/2008, -3/+12Time spent swearing at the screen because you accidentally clicked "Browse..." and now have to wait for Adobe Bridge to open.
- mattlohkamp, on 09/25/2008, -1/+9except that it's a joke because a lot of people run pirated copies of PS.
- Chompy, on 09/25/2008, -0/+6Try replacing Acrobat with Foxit, that should save cut out a good 20% on the update requests.
- SnapDragon86, on 09/25/2008, -1/+7mine is more like
30% acrobat
30% photoshop
40% rejecting update request - inactive, on 09/25/2008, -0/+6embedding PDF's inside a web browser is why 99% of the crashes happen with adobe reader
- mattlohkamp, on 09/25/2008, -0/+6@ atgmac - wait, are you being deliberately dense?
- jrowny, on 09/25/2008, -0/+5@atomicfireball
That's not true. You can get really nice dual core laptops for $600 easy! - brundlefly76, on 09/25/2008, -1/+6The hassle, maybe - but not the freaking price.
I can buy an entire laptop with Vista installed for less then the price of Photoshop. - zip000, on 09/25/2008, -0/+5I hate embedded pdfs. Even when I have to use adobe, I always opt to download the pdf rather than opening in the browser...it is usually slow as hell in the browser and much more prone to crashing.
- Sternology, on 09/25/2008, -1/+6It was mildly amusing at first, now they are just resorting to unoriginal observational comedy translated into a pie chart.
It's basically a geeky version of "Do ya know what really GRINDS my gears?" or "What's the deal with......." - inactive, on 09/25/2008, -3/+8Buried for innacurate. I use my adobe products all day everyday with an almost non existent amount of update or restarts.
- DeathJux, on 09/25/2008, -2/+7Seriously? I haven't updated anything and I deny the updater from even updating itself, which it asks to do a couple times a week.
Everything works... I have no complaints. - brodieface, on 09/25/2008, -0/+4I thought Digg's sarcasm detectors where in check.
My bad. - theodenking, on 09/25/2008, -1/+5I used to recommend the GIMP to people, then I actually tried it.
- cfuse, on 09/25/2008, -1/+5No.
- PecanHead, on 09/25/2008, -1/+5FoxIt Reader is great if you use IE, but last time I checked they still didn't have a plugin for Firefox. People savvy enough to use an alternative PDF viewer are obviously going to be using an alternative web browser. What gives?
- bsmang, on 09/25/2008, -0/+4Answer that and you may explain how acrobat/pdf got the way it is.
- theodenking, on 09/25/2008, -0/+4Nobody buys Photoshop...
- warsongs7, on 09/25/2008, -2/+6I actually read the title as 'time spent'.
- mattlohkamp, on 09/25/2008, -0/+4mmm, that's stretching it...
- WhiteUnit, on 09/25/2008, -4/+7Your unintentional support for Adobe simply by using their product...priceless.
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -0/+3Wow... whoever made this chart must be on a PC, huh? I honestly don't even know what it's talking about and I use this stuff all day every day.
- pennyjack, on 09/25/2008, -2/+5LOL!!! Just coffeed my keyboard.
- Caliente, on 09/25/2008, -0/+3absolutely. Brand loyalty whether freely garnered or paid for is priceless in the long run.
- Chirp08, on 09/25/2008, -1/+4Agreed, the updates made huge differences when Leopard was released. Photoshop had numerous problems and I welcomed every update that was released. Then again I work with Photoshop/InDesign/Acrobat/Illustrator daily.
- wassim2k, on 09/25/2008, -0/+3I like spenting dime widh atobe protucts
- VigRoco, on 09/25/2008, -0/+3I love graphs. I should make a graph depicting how much time I spend making pointless, unfunny graphs.
- Keithamus, on 09/25/2008, -0/+3In CS2+ you can manually edit the menu entries and get rid of browse... but I totally agree with you and dugg you up nonetheless.
- gambl0r, on 09/25/2008, -0/+3This chart is not funny, interesting, or accurate in the least. Great job!
- zeeky, on 09/25/2008, -0/+3on pc's u have to wait for adobe reader to start up just to view a stupid document... on a mac its just built in, no waiting time at all...
- Sublimus, on 09/25/2008, -0/+3I use Adobe's Creative Suite for hours a day, and this graph just untrue and moot. Maybe if you guys were running comps that weren't pieces of *****, it wouldn't take so long to reboot a program?
- DigitAl56K, on 09/25/2008, -0/+2They're too busy installing Adobe updates.
- shaymein, on 09/25/2008, -0/+2what are you on, dial-up?
